Beginning of the End.

PHILADELPHIA, May 30-A Washing
ton dispatch to the Times says for some
days there has been more or less informal
talk in administration circles on the tariff
question, and from an intimation dropped
in these quarters it may be announced that
Secretary Fairchild is seriously coptempla
ting a movement, with the appreciation OF
the president and his colleagues, looking to
a concentration of Democrats in the house
of representatives and senate upon meas
ures of tariff reduction. After careful in
Quiry it has been ascertained that every
member of the cabinet is favorable to such
program. After the experience of the past
two congresses, the president is convinced
that but one course remains open to the
Democratic party, and that Is the forma-
ton of bill in consultation with such men
as Randall and Carlisle and 9th
ers representing divers positions
of the Democratic sentiment on the subject
for the purpose of bring them together
upon some common ground of agreement.
The president has seen for some time that
an issue will be made on the tariff, and
urged that it would be more sagacious to
get to work at once and prepare bill to
be submitted to congress as measure OF
administration policy than to let the ques-
ton continue to play havoc, as fire
brand in the ranks of the party. 1t is pro
posed to make the bill an administration
question in the house. and thus bring it
before the people, as distinctive one upon
which the Democratic party will stand in
the next campaign

Snovballin~ in San Francisco.

The Chinese Jared badly, but amply re-
venged themselves when opportunity offered.
About o'clock in the morning those who
had started out to their work in down town
cigar factories and shoe shops were met with
a fusillade of snowballs, and very few of them
got past Kearney street. The majority re-
turned to their quarters and remained in
Chinatown throughout the day. Whenever
a Chinese essayed to cross the dead line" Of
Kearney street he was made n target by
hundreds of boys and men, and if he had the
audacitv to throw q SNOWFALL in return he
was counted fortunate if he escaped being
knocked down. kicked and beaten as several
of them were. All around the plaza, in front
of the old city hall and the police station such
scenes were repeated throughout the day.
Retiring within the precincts of Chinatown,
the Mongols had their revenge i'll a merciless
pelting OF any white man who dared show
himself there. Hidden in doorways, they
would wait until the venturesome white was
we'll within range and then make a sinful
famous assault upon him. If he returned
their fire they would treat him as their breth-
rem were treated at the plaza, rolling him in
the mud and pelting him with srow. Many
Of the Chinese stationed themselves upon
roofs, where they were safe from missiles
thrown from the streets, and from these posi-
lions hard rolled balls of wet snow were
hurled upon passers by, inficting serious
blows in many instances. From the roof Of
a building on jackson street ten or a dozen
Celestials Kept up volley of missiles upon the
crowd who thronged the corner of jackson
and Kearney streets. In some instances rival
groups of whites and Chinese occupied roofs
on opposite sides of streets and carried on
battles with that safe distance between them.

The Act "Has Come To Stay"

An illustration of the progress Of the
principle of Civil-Service reform is to
be found in the action of the House
Committee of Reform in the Civil-Serv-
ice, which reported favorably a bill
providing for the increase of the sala-
ries of the Civil-Service Commission
ers. At present the Commissioners re-
ceive a salary of $500 a year each.
The bill would increase their sal
aries to $1,000. Some of the comments
of the committee in reporting
the bill are of interest. The committee
says chat when the Civil-Service act
was passed it was regarded merely as
tentative, and it was believed that the
Commissioners would not have very
much to do. Now, however, the COM
mission has become one of the institu-
tions of the country, and, the commit
tee urges, it is important that the best
talent should be placed at the COM
mand of the President. Under the
present salaries, as is we'll known, men
who are conspicuously desirable for
membership in the commission could
only accept the Office at pecuniary
sacrifice. Brddstreets

A Republican Surrender.

The interesting feature of the law for
counting the electoral vote is the con-
cession of the principle for which the
Democracy contended in 1876 and
which the Republican party leaders
denied. Under the law as now
fixed there is no possibility of the
President of the Senate claiming,
as Senator Ferry did, to be a bigger
man than both Houses of Congress and
all the State governments combined.
The two houses meet in joint conyen-
ton and the President of the Senate
presides. But he has no other duty or
function but to open the returns and
announce them. The two houses do
the passing upon them. If there is
only one return from State, it is to be
counted. If there are two, that one
will be counted which is approved by
the highest Judicial authority in the
State. If there is no such approval,
the return, with the Governors sigma
ture, is to be counted; and, if the Gov
ernor's authority is questioned, the
vote will be rejected unless both houses
separately agree TO count it, Detrotl

No magnetism" There.

1t was a big blunder the Republican
managers made in announcing that
Blaine would be present at the late
banquet under the auspices of Colonel
Atkinson's club. They knew, of
course, that he would not come; and
there was, therefore, kind of false
pretense in announcing him and in
ducing the faithful to squander their
hard-earned two-dollar bills in vain ex-
pectation. But worse than the false
pretense was the blunder. 1t turned
what otherwise might have been a very
tidy feast into Il cold and lifeless thing.
Men who would have been very we'll
pleased under ordinary circumstances
to hear Senators Hawley, Of Connect
icut, and Palmer, of this State, and
who would, when sufficiently .'re-
freshed, have tolerated even Congress
man Boutelle, found the entertainment
stale, fat and Improbable, because
they contrasted it with the might have
been.
The blunder would have been less
serious if the managers had been play
ing for the gate-money, so to speak.
They undoubtedly sold more tickets
than they would if Blaine had not been
down in the hills. But it was not
money they were after. They wanted
enough of that to pay expenses, Of
course, but chiefly they were after
votes. And it is as voters that the
guests have been injured. 1t is as vot-
ers that thay will resent the deceit and
delusion to which they have been SUBJ
jected.
1t is useless, perhaps, to say to the
managers of the g. o. p. that it pays
to be honest. But it does. Detroit

Will build a name that shall shine like the
stars
On the azure field of j deathless fame?
Do you want me to find him? Well no. I guess
You must give the search to another charge
My acquaintance with men Of this stamp, Icon

For obvious reasons, is not very large.
Do you seek aman who can found State,
And plan an empire out OF his brain?
Who will steer the rudder Of stubborn fate
Through the trackless waste Of an untried
main?
DO you want me 20 find and to introduce
This man to the public to make his bow
would like to obige you, but must refuse,
For he's not very numerous just now!
Do you seek man who will write song
That shall echo on through an endless time?
A mighty soul fit to join the throng
OF the ancient bards and the kings of rhyme?
Do you want me to find hims must decline
To hunt so elusive fellow as he;
For in this age OF the world, opine,
He's the Stubbornest kind Of an absenteel
Do you seek q man who'll assume the weight
OF the countless wealth Of some millionaire?
Who will take all the burdens of his estate,
And his bonds and investments with all their
care?
Do you seek such a mann You will find him at
home
He'll accept, and won't take day to decide;
Just write to the fellow who wrote this pome
And he'll tell you man who is qualified!
